Elena Küchle is currently working on her master thesis at AIM. She focuses on enhancing neural network verification through the reuse of previously proved properties.

Tim holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from RWTH Aachen University and is now working on his master’s thesis at AIM. He focuses on examining the influence of environment properties on hyperparameter sensitivity in the context of Reinforcement Learning. In his free time, he enjoys playing Tennis.

Hendrik earned his bachelor’s degree in Data Science and AI from Maastricht University and is currently working on his master’s thesis at AIM and the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science. In his thesis he focuses on certified defenses which modify classifiers through randomized transformations to their input. This enables more efficient computation of robustness distributions for large model architectures and datasets. He also works as a student assistant and contributes to the chair’s VERONA robustness research project.

Andrea was doing the administrative stuff.

As participant in the Erasmus+ exchange program years ago, Maddy moved from her native Normandy (France) to Aachen, which soon became her adopted city. Thanks to her work at the International Office of RWTH Aachen University, she discovered her passion for event management and international cooperation, which she will put to good use at the Chair for AI Methodology (AIM). In her free time, Maddy learns to play bass guitar, reads scandinavian thrillers and regularly attends cultural events.

Tilman works on the group’s new compute cluster, Kathleen.
